Code Health

  1. Add support for “Trusted Workspaces”.

    “Trusted Workspaces” is an upcoming feature in VS Code. (See:
    https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/106488.) For now you need
    the following for the experience:

    • the latest VS Code Insiders
    • add "workspace.trustEnabled": true to your user settings.json

    At that point, when the Python extension would normally activate, VS Code
    will prompt you about whether or not the current workspace is trusted.
    If not then the extension will be disabled (but only for that workspace).
    As soon as the workspace is marked as trusted, the extension will
    activate.
    (#15525)

  2. Updates to the VSCode Notebook API.
    (#15567)

  3. Fix failing smoke tests on CI.
    (#15573)

    and the debugger to
    4.2.0 (from 4.1.3). Highlights include:
    • Language server
      • Completions on generic containers work (e.g. x: List[T] now have completions for x, not just x[]).
      • Fixed issues relating to Go to Definition for from ... import statements.
      • None is no longer flagged as undefined.
      • BadSourceException should no longer be raised.
      • Fixed a null reference exception when handling certain function overloads.
    • Debugger

our features:

And a special thanks to Patryk Zawadzki for all of
his help on our issue tracker!

Enhancements

    This is made possible with the addition of the jinja setting in the launch.json file as follows: 
    1
    2
    3
    "request": "launch or attach",
    ...
    "jinja": true

    Additional capabilities:
    • ptvsd.break_into_debugger() to break into the attached debugger.
    • ptvsd.wait_for_attach(timeout) to cause the program to wait until a debugger attaches.

  2. Speed increases in interpreter selection (#952)
  3. Support for direnv
    (#36)
  4. Support for pipenv virtual environments; do note that using pipenv

    environment
    (#404)
  5. Support for pyenv installs of Python
    (#847)
  6. Support editor.formatOnType (#640)
  7. Added a zh-tw translation (#)

    linter as well as linters globally
    (#971)

Fixes

  1. Work around a bug in Pylint when the default linter rules are
    enabled and running Python 2.7 which triggered --py3k checks
    to be activated, e.g. all print statements to be flagged as
    errors
    (#722)
  2. Better detection of when a virtual environment is selected, leading
    to the extension accurately leaving off --user when installing
    Pylint (#808)

    default Pylint checks
    (#728,
    #788,
    #838,
    #442)
  4. Fix Got to Python object (#403)
  5. When reformatting a file, put the temporary file in the workspace
    folder so e.g. yapf detect their configuration files appropriately
    (#730)
  6. The banner to suggest someone installs Python now says Download
    instead of Close (#844)
  7. Formatting while typing now treats . and @ as operators,
    preventing the incorrect insertion of whitespace
    (#840)
  8. Debugging from a virtual environment named env now works
    (#691)
  9. Disabling linting in a single folder of a mult-root workspace no
    longer disables it for all folders (#862)
  10. Fix the default debugger settings for Flask apps
    (#573)
  11. Format paths correctly when sending commands through WSL and git-bash;
    this does not lead to official support for either terminal
    (#895)
  12. Prevent run-away Jedi processes from consuming too much memory by
    automatically killing the process; reload VS Code to start the
    process again if desired
    (#926,
    #263)
  13. Support multiple linters again
    (#913)
  14. Don’t over-escape markup found in docstrings
    (#911,
    #716,
    #627,
    #692)
  15. Fix when the Problems pane lists file paths prefixed with git:
    (#916)
  16. Fix inline documentation when an odd number of quotes exists
    (#786)
  17. Don’t erroneously warn macOS users about using the system install
    of Python when a virtual environment is already selected
    (#804)
  18. Fix activating multiple linters without requiring a reload of
    VS Code
    (#971)

Code Health

  1. Upgrade to Jedi 0.11.1
    (#674,
    #607,
    #99)
  2. Removed the banner announcing the extension moving over to
    Microsoft (#830)
  3. Renamed the default debugger configurations (#412)
  4. Remove some error logging about not finding conda
